What happened

— 10 days after a hunter went missing in Chaffee County, officials said the body of 27-year-old Kaden Sites was discovered Saturday near Tabaguache Creek.

Why it matters

The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office on social media said Site’s body was found in a wilderness area around 1.5 miles from his truck.

Common ground

Foul play was not suspected and a cause of death was not released “Our hearts go out to the Sites family and friends this evening.

Perspective signals

Claim 2: “Foul play was not suspected and a cause of death was not released”

Claim 5: “10 days after a hunter went missing in Chaffee County, officials said the body of 27-year-old Kaden Sites was discovered Saturday near Tabaguache Creek.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provided for this claim are entirely irrelevant, discussing Mopar car parts and do not mention Kaden Sites, Chaffee County, or the discovery date/location. Therefore, no evidence was found to corroborate the claim, and the provided evidence is useless for verification.
